MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Sometimes, the demands of life can feel overwhelming, and the stress may disrupt your daily routine. Therapy can help you navigate these emotions and restore balance to your life.
COUPLES THERAPY
Relationship stress can significantly affect your overall well-being. Many couples find value in working with a professional who can offer insight into challenging relationship patterns. Through therapy, you can address communication and intimacy issues, paving the way to restore happiness and connection in your relationship.
DEPRESSION
Depression can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. If left untreated, it can impact your work, relationships, and self-esteem. Therapy offers support to challenge negative thoughts and develop healthier ways to manage your emotions.
TEEN AND ADOLESCENT CONCERNS
It’s no secret that teens face immense pressure today. While many struggle with mental health challenges, they often don’t receive the support they need. Therapy can provide a safe space to address self-esteem, peer and relationship issues, and family difficulties.
SIGNIFICANT LIFE TRANSITIONS
Whether you’re changing jobs, planning for a baby, or moving to a new city, even positive changes can bring stress. Therapy offers support and reassurance to help you navigate these transitions with confidence.
FAMILY THERAPY
Even when we love our families, they can sometimes be our greatest source of stress. Therapy can help you establish healthy boundaries and improve communication. Family therapy may also be beneficial in strengthening relationships and fostering greater satisfaction among family members.
GRIEF AND LOSS
While death is inevitable, the pain that comes with it is very real. Grief therapy offers a supportive space to navigate these difficult emotions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, therapy can help guide you toward healing and hope.
PERSONALITY DISORDERS
Personality disorders include conditions such as narcissistic, borderline, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Therapy provides support and guidance to help you develop healthy coping strategies and improve your well-being.
TRAUMA
SPECIAL NEEDS ADVOCACY
Trauma can affect every aspect of your life. In fact, about one in eleven people will be diagnosed with PTSD at some point in their lifetime. If you’re struggling with trauma, therapy can support you in processing your emotions, facing your fears, and discovering a renewed sense of meaning.

Premarital counseling helps couples dig into their hopes, fears, and expectations about marriage—kind of like a relationship check-up before the big “I do.” It helps you make informed decisions and gives you a sneak peek at therapy, so if you ever need to call in the pros later, you’ll already know the drill. Whether you’re engaged or just thinking about tying the knot someday, this is a great chance to talk openly about what marriage really means for both of you (yes, even the messy stuff).
​
You’ll cover a bunch of important topics in a safe space, like:
​
-
Your personal beliefs and values (because apparently “I don’t know” isn’t an answer)
-
Family relationships (and how to survive holiday dinners)
-
How you make decisions (teamwork makes the dream work, right?)
-
Managing anger (without yelling “I’m fine!”)
-
Quality time together (binge-watching counts!)
-
Healthy ways to handle disagreements (no rock-throwing allowed)
-
Big life choices like buying a house or starting a family (or maybe just getting a dog first)
-
Avoiding built-up resentment (because passive-aggressive comments get old fast)
Some key topics usually include:
Money: Talking about student loans, savings, budgets, emergency funds, and whether your bank accounts will be joint, separate, or some complicated combo you’ll have to explain later.
Kids: Discussions about if and when you want children, how many, and whether adoption is on the table if plans change.
Sex: Getting real about satisfaction, how often, and how to talk about it without awkward silences.
